Devo: Shared this with the men of Seismic earlier this week, and figured I would also share with a different audience. Asa Jennings was a failed minister in the early 1920’s. He was a bit of an afterthought, and not highly regarded. Yet through his efforts, he saved over 1.2 million from genocide in Turkey. You can read about here: http://www.unc.edu/depts/diplomat/item/2010/0103/comm/jennings_oneman.html.

David was also a man of little regard. In fact, when God sent the prophet Samuel to his father’s home to anoint Israel’s future king, David’s father Jesse didn’t even bother to call him in from the fields where he was watching his father’s flock. Of course, God chose David because God looks at the heart.

Just like David, God did great things through Asa regardless of how men saw him. God can do great things through all of when he chooses to if we are willing and obedient.

 

Moleskin:  It had been several weeks since YHC made it out to Tectonic and it was great to be back. As we picked up our coupons for the day I noted that the blocks seemed especially heavy. Cold Cut did not hesitate to remind me in so many words (paraphrasing), “This is Tectonic. What did you expect?” I love the  attitude, but  I still don’t love the blocks.
